  • ¾ cup90 gAll-purpose flour

  • ½ cup45 gUnsweetened cocoa powder

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang.
  2. Make the oat-peanut mixture: in a bowl, combine the oats, the chopped peanuts, the brown sugar, half of the flour, the baking soda and one-third of the salt. Stir in half of the melted butter until crumbly.
  3. Press two-thirds of the oat-peanut mixture firmly into the pan; set the remaining third aside for the topping. Bake the base for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile make the brownie batter: in a second bowl, whisk the remaining half of the melted butter with the granulated sugar and the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and glossy.
  5. Whisk the eggs into the cocoa mixture one at a time, then whisk in the vanilla.
  6. Fold the remaining half of the flour and the remaining two-thirds of the salt into the cocoa mixture just until no streaks remain.
  7. Spread the brownie batter over the hot base, then scatter the reserved oat-peanut crumble evenly on top.
  8. Bake 25 to 28 minutes, until the crumble is golden and a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour, then lift out with the parchment and cut into 12 bars.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
